DETERRED: PD-L1 blockadE To Evaluate the Safety of Lung CanceR Therapy Using Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, and Radiation CombinEd With MPDL3280A
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about the safety of adding MDPL3280A to
standard chemotherapy (a combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel) and radiation in patients
with lung cancer.
You are being asked to take part in this study because you have non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) that is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery) and has not spread.
This is an investigational study. MPDL3280A is not FDA approved or commercially available. It
is currently being used for research purposes only. Paclitaxel, carboplatin, and the
radiation therapy are all FDA approved for the treatment of lung cancer. The use of these
drugs in combination is considered investigational.
Up to 40 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

Study Groups and Study Drug Administration:
Each study cycle is 21 days.
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, depending on when you join the
study, you will be assigned to 1 of 2 study groups. Up to 10 participants will be assigned to
Group 1 and up to 30 will be assigned to Group 2.
Participants in Groups 1 and 2 will receive standard chemotherapy 1 time each week and
radiation therapy 5 days per week as described below Every cycle you will also receive
MPDL3280A by vein over about 1 hour.
If you are in Group 1, you will receive standard chemotherapy and radiation for 6-7 weeks,
followed by around a 3-8 week "rest period" when you will receive no chemotherapy or
radiation.
If you are in Group 2, you will receive MPDL3280A, standard chemotherapy, and radiation
therapy for 6-7 weeks. This will be followed by a rest period of 3-4 weeks, during which time
you will receive 1 dose of MPDL3280A but no chemotherapy or radiation.
After the rest period, Groups 1 and 2 will both receive MPDL3280A in addition to chemotherapy
for 2 cycles (called the consolidation period). After completing the consolidation period,
you will continue to receive MPDL3280A alone for up to 1 year (called the maintenance
period).
During your first dose of MPDL3280A, your vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, temperature,
and breathing rate) will be measured 60 minutes before the dose, every 15 minutes during the
dose, and 30 minutes after the dose to check for any bad reaction to the study drug. You may
be given standard drugs to help with side effects.
If you need to stop receiving chemotherapy due to side effects, you will also stop receiving
MPDL3280A. If you stop receiving chemotherapy for any other reason, you may continue
receiving MPDL3280A.
Study Visits:
Once a week during Weeks 1-7:
- You will have a physical exam.
- Blood (up to 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests and to check your liver and
kidney function.
Between Weeks 8-16 you will have a rest period. The rest period could range from 3-8 weeks,
after which time you will return for the consolidation period.
One (1) time during consolidation period, which starts after the rest period, during Weeks
1-3 and Weeks 4-6 of the consolidation period:
- You will have a physical exam.
- Blood (up to 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests and to check your liver and
kidney function.
- You will have either a CT scan or an FDG-PET/CT scan to check the status of the disease.
After you complete the consolidation period, you will enter the maintenance period. During
every cycle of the maintenance period, blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine
tests.
Every 2 cycles during the maintenance period, for up to 1 year:
- You will have a physical exam.
- You will have either a CT scan or an FDG-PET/CT scan to check the status of the disease.
If the disease appears to come back at any time during the study:
- You will have a physical exam.
- You will have a CT scan or MRI of the brain to check the status of the disease.
- You will have either a CT scan or an FDG-PET/CT of your chest and abdomen to check the
status of the disease.
- You will have a biopsy of any suspicious areas found on the scans to check the status of
the disease.
- Your doctor may choose to continue the study drug and repeat the scans in 6-8 weeks to
check the status of the disease.
- If your doctor feels that the study drug is no longer effective from the information
obtained from the repeat scans, you will be taken off the study drug. You will continue
to be followed up by a schedule determined by your doctor.
- Your doctor may offer alternative treatments if your doctor feels it is in your best
interest.
Length of Treatment:
You may receive the study drug for up to 1 year after starting the consolidation period, as
long as the doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will no longer be able to receive
study drug if the disease gets worse, if intolerable side effects occur, or if you are unable
to follow study directions.
If you are taken off study during the consolidation or maintenance period due to intolerable
side effects, you will be followed by the study staff as often the doctor thinks is needed
until the side effects get better.
Your active participation on the study will be over after the follow-up visits.
Follow-up Visits:
You will have follow-up visits every 2-4 months for up to 2 years after your last dose of
study drug, unless you leave the study due to side effects or the disease having appeared to
come back. After 2 years, you will have follow-up visits about every 4-6 months based on what
your doctor thinks is best.
At each follow-up visit, the following tests will be performed:
- You will have a physical exam.
- You will have either a CT scan or an FDG-PET/CT scan of your chest and abdomen to check
the status of the disease.
- If your doctor thinks it is needed, blood (up to 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine
tests and to check your liver and kidney function.
If you cannot return to MD Anderson for these visits, you may be called by a member of the
study staff every 3-6 months for 4 years after the last dose of study drug. Each call should
last about 10 minutes. The study staff may ask that any tests or scans done by your home
doctor be sent to MD Anderson to check the status of the disease.
Each study cycle is 21 days.

will need to consent to and undergo a pre treatment core or excisional biopsy sample
collection of the tumor. Fine needle aspiration, brushing, and lavage samples are not
acceptable. The immediate unavailability of tissue blocks or unstained slides aside
from the slides needed for diagnostic confirmation of lung cancer does not exclude
patients from this trial. If the patient chooses to not undergo a repeat biopsy aside
from biopsy for diagnostic purposes, the patient will still be eligible to enroll on
2014-0722. However, availability of core or excisional biopsy samples must be
ascertained prior to enrollment.

7. Patients will have the option to enroll on blood collection protocol, LAB09-0983, for
serial collections of blood before, during intervals of treatment, and at follow up
visits. Enrolling on the LAB09-0983 protocol is not required to enroll on the
2014-0722 study.

10. Measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1
11. For female patients of childbearing potential and male patients with partners of
childbearing potential, agreement (by patient and/or partner) to use highly effective
